Manu Bhaker Poses In Front Of Eiffel Tower With Her Two Olympic Medals

Manu Bhaker has emerged as India's Olympic hero as she made the nation incredibly proud by winning two Bronze Medals at the Paris Olympics. Manu Bhaker first won Bronze in Women's singles 10m air pistol and then again won Bronze in Mixed Team in the same shooting series alongside Sarabjot Singh. 

In doing so, Manu Bhaker became the first athlete to win two Olympic medals at a single Olympics for Independent India. She was gunning for even more glory by becoming the first Indian to win three individual Olympic medals. However, that dream ended in a heartbreak as she finished 4th in Women's 25m pistol and missed out on her historic third medal by one shot. 

As Manu Bhaker's Olympic campaign concluded she posted an iconic medal winning photo at the Eiffel tower.
